My First Ulalena Maui Experience




My experience was held as a Tweetup at the Ulalena Maui in
Lahaina. I was invited through twitter and if you bought a local made dish for pu pu's you could see the show for free.I took advantage because I haven't seen this amazing show at all. It has been playing a while now. I was very excited too, to meet other Maui tweeters. It was the biggest tweet up yet.

I am glad to have made new friends in real life and to re unite with others that I had previously met through twitter.I hope to meet all my Maui followers/following .
The food was good. The theme was to bring a local made dish,so I contributed baked purple potatoes. I tried a bite of just about every dish As the show began ,I am excited,just to be in a wonderful theater atmosphere. I was impressed with it all! The live drumming,the songs, the interpretation,the costumes,the special effect curtains,the acrobats ,the stilts. I liked how the background changes from being in the mountains/rain forest , to looking up at the night sky, and the feeling of really being under water with the swimming fish And the drummers were just incredible. After the show, we got to stay for an question and answer segment and I liked learning about the backstage production part. I want to say that social Lia who I meet at a previous tweetup was one of the main performers,she has such a great voice! The whole cast was in its element. AUTHENTIC,ENERGETIC,HEARTFELT
Thanks to those on twitter that took a chance to meet me and see who I am and enjoyed the show as much as me!
Until the next mauitweetup.............................follow me

Sunday Maui Tweet Up


Aloha,this morning I attended a Maui Tweet Up. We gathered at Whole Food Maui located at the Maui Mall. I was a bit late, but was very pleased to finally meet some new tweeters,but yet felt like meeting old friends. Mahalo to Dania Katz for organizing and Joel Katz for the lovely music. I had an omelet and fresh squeezed O.J. and was very surprised at the action going on inside . I guess I hadn't gone there on a Sunday. I am so glad to have had breakfast with the Maui peeps, and a couple that was visiting from the Big Island, even if they were face bookah's! LOL

House Of Roots Night Out





A couple days a go, I was on FB and notice this page, House Of Roots really promoting this up coming show at Mulligans On The Blue in Wailea . So I liked it. Than a day goes by,and I notice that they are doing online contest to win free tickets. I was on it, I answered correctly and won a free ticket! SUPER STOKED! I like when I can see live music for free! Suber Dub Tribe, Teoman, and Bambu Station. Because I agree to take a few pictures of the show,this House Of Roots dude gives me 2 more tickets! WAY COOL!. Now the ladies I do end up going with, I have only known for about a month. One lived here for 3 yrs, the other 1 yrs. So they love me as a local girl to go out to a club and have a good time to see live music for free.
I have seen Teoman before, but never Suber Dub or Bambu Station, who is from the Virgin Islands. Of course no night would be complete without the club drama, we get to the door and the lady says only 1 comp ticket, so I txt My new House Of Roots Dude friend and inform him. we wait. but only for 5 minutes, the 3 of us were in!Mulligans was packed. OMG and the same waitress recognized me from Tuesday tin can comedy night and she knows what I want to drink. Black Russian.
I danced away all of the days stress, but, my 2 GF's are totally picking up young dudes, I say that cause it is mostly a young crowd. Than we find out that they are from California and is here for a wedding. I just danced and took pics and enjoyed the music ! What a fun night out. Can't wait til the next music event with live music. ALOHA FROM MAUI

Monday Update



Aloha,As time moves on and I am still in pursuit of employment,I get swayed to want to be social and be leisure with my friends. It does help me to regain my focus. last week I went to Tavares Bay with Jane. We swam on such a lovely Maui afternoon. Than on Friday, I met up with some old high school classmates and our drama teacher, the one and only Miss Sue Loudon. Me, Julie, Sundree, Jett, Micheal, and Jerry had a fun time just reminiscing and laughing. Oh Julie's twin boys and little girl kept us on our toes. On Saturday I went to Kahului Hongwanji's garage sale. I tried to go to the beach on Sunday and I did make it to Sprecklesville but ended up staying for only a short time. So today, I have been home most of the day, been organizing a lot of paperwork and cleaning. and I actually got a call back thu an employer thu the internet. (I had to stop this typing for a moment). I have an interview tomorrow and I am excited.I added the pic of me and my classmates, and I wanted to share this pic of Emmitt Smith who I met this spring at The Grand Wailea. I am not in photo, but as I was taking pic, he was staring right at me!I did get to get a big hug from him(yummy) I actually float every time i see this Photo
Enjoy this lovely day,leave me a comment about anything you want
MAHALO

twitter rant end to beggining


# :steps away,contemplates it is so pretty out there today:: RANT OVER #mauilife time to get a tan :)


or do i have to resort to the oldest profession in the world to survive, been there done that, can do again #mauilife

jobs are scarce,so i guess i have to go to the beach and sell my anklets just to make a buck or two or beg on the street from #mauiangels

AND all this without UI benefits.yes life #maui is rough even w/ all it's beauty.gas is 3.84,my luxury,having a roof over my head #mauilife

than some of the positions listed on CL ,i sent resume and they repy with wanting more personal info,i think it is a scam or bot or not real

of people training the new person. plus frito lay need me to give them traffic abstract for possible employment, 20 bucks for that

than eskimo candy company was training last week as i was in their office ,filling out app. the managers were watching the cameras

some places like maui seafood re hired a former employee and didnt interview me, i applied online and in person and i live 2 min, from them
vitamin world i applied at both locations as they requested and online and i called twice and dist manager hasn't called back
no call back from pacific whale foundation,i went in twice and applied online and called twice
except if i have to visit my son who lives in the mainland now, unless he moves back,otherwise I'm floored that i still haven't gotten hired

employers should give people who live here a good look at the resume, I LIVE HERE, I am NOT going anywhere
it is funny that on most of the apps that i apply on in the Kihei area have the question"how long do plan on living on maui"
i turned my heard sharply to see if i could hear where this was, but she didnt say.
#

so last night i overheard this lady say to another"well i just hired this girl who just moved to the island,i have to see how she does
